Melbourne based software engineering company Ocean Software has signed an agreement with MOSS SAS, key supplier to the French procurement agency Direction Générale de l’Armement (DGA) and French armed forces, for the delivery of its flagship operations management solution, FlightPro.
MOSS SAS is a system engineering company working in the field of air operations for DGA.
In a statement the company said FlightPro will be an important sub-system that forms the Army Air Activity Management System, (SG3A), which will manage French military aviation operations and training activities.
Ocean Software will implement FlightPro in two phases with implementation expected to conclude in 2019.
FlightPro is a COTS software platform designed to streamline and manage the busy and complex military aviation operations and training environments. It was initially implemented by the RAAF in 1994, and is now used in 14 countries, by 13 air arms around the world.
Bruce Moors, general manager Ocean Software, said France is the 14th country to be implementing our system and has the largest air arm operations in Europe.
“It’s great to be able to announce this news, following the recent procurement of FlightPro by the Belgian Air Component, where it will manage military aviation operations and training while helping to reduce the cost of air operations”.
“Ocean Software is on a clear growth path. It’s very exciting to export our Australian-grown defence technology all around the world. As a result of our recent wins in Europe, we’ve hired 15 new staff, and we expect to expand the teams even further.”
